Worktop repair for Totton homes

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep wood oiled

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Worktop repair in Totton without replacing anything

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. Whether it’s knife marks and a chipped quartz edge, we can typically put it right, on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Totton

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Totton

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Totton

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Totton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Totton and the rest of Hampshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Totton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
